Ah, come on, that simply isn't true. :) Several others just need an
additional MP3 plugin package just as with XMMS. While for XMMS, the
package is called "xmms-mp3", it has different names for the other
players. For example:

  $ yum search xmms2
  Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit
  Adding en_US to language list
  ================================ Matched: xmms2 ================================
  gkrellxmms2.i686 : Gkrellm2 plugin client for XMMS2
  nyxmms2.i686 : Commandline client for XMMS2
  xmms2-avcodec.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for avcodec supported formats
  xmms2-devel.i686 : Development libraries and headers for XMMS2
  xmms2-docs.i686 : Development documentation for XMMS2
  xmms2-faad.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for AAC and MP4 audio formats
  xmms2-freeworld.i686 : Plugins for XMMS2 that cannot be included in Fedora
  xmms2-mad.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MPEG Audio files
  xmms2-mms.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MMS audio streams
  xmms2-mp4.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MP4 audio
  xmms2-perl.i686 : Perl support for XMMS2
  xmms2-python.i686 : Python support for XMMS2
  xmms2-ruby.i686 : Ruby support for XMMS2
  gxmms2.i686 : A graphical audio player
  xmms2.i686 : A modular audio framework and plugin architecture
  esperanza.i686 : A graphical audio player
  lxmusic.i686 : Lightweight XMMS2 client with simple user interface
  gnome-applet-music.i686 : A GNOME panel applet to control various music players

Here, for "xmms2-*" the MP3 plugin package is "xmms2-mad", which is based
on the MAD audio decoding library for MP3. To add more 3rd party plugins
(from rpmfusion.org) in one go, one would simply install "xmms2-freeworld".
Additionally, it would be necessary to install a graphical user interface
like "lxmusic" (or "gxmms2") because XMMS2 is just an audio framework.

For Audacious 2 (which I use personally and it still offers a skinned
interface like XMMS, too), the packages are:

  audacious
  audacious-freeworld
  (or just audacious-freeworld-mp3 for MP3 support)
  also see: yum list audacious\*

For Qmmp, I see:

  qmmp
  qmmp-freeworld

Lots of audio players use the GStreamer framework. You can find the additional
3rd party plugins for GStreamer with e.g. "yum list gstreamer\*". They may
have strange names, but add support for MP3 and other formats.
